First World Problems

Does this hit to close to home for some of you or your students.  Nice video to show and it is only a minute long.

7 jours sur la planete

I noticed the app, "7 jours sur la planete".  It costs $4.99 and it is supposed to help you learn French by watching TV5 where according to Itunes they have "3 reports each week to hear the specific vocabulary used in televised news reports, and read their transcripts to discover how these words are used in context".

However for free one can view the interactive exercises on  TV5MONDE  that is provided to all French learners.  Just click here.

Also on TV5's website I noticed another part called Destination Francophonie where they feature weekly a different destination about how alive and vibrant it's French language is.  It also ends each show with what major Francophone events are happening in the world that week.  To see this click here.
